GCSE Physics - Nuclear Decay Equations #34

The video tutorial explains the equations for alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. It describes how alpha particles, consisting of two protons and two neutrons, are represented and how they affect the atomic and mass numbers during decay. The tutorial also covers beta decay, where a neutron turns into a proton, increasing the atomic number, and gamma radiation, which involves energy emission without changing atomic or mass numbers. Neutron emission is briefly discussed, highlighting the subtraction of one from the mass number.
